After hanging up, Minerva sat on the bed for a while before she laid down and tucked herself in.
She turned over and looked at the quiet night outside the window.
She really didn't want Maddox to have a huge conflict and even fight with his grandfather because of her. Thus, when she saw the butler helplessly standing at the door begging Maddox to go back.
Her heart softened.
But now, she felt that she did not make the right decision. How could Monica's reason for seeing him be so simple?
Thinking about it, Minerva felt that she was overthinking. Even if Monica had any schemes in the Collins family, Jarold would have seen through all of them. Unless... he was also helping her.
Thinking of this, Minerva suddenly sat up.
There was a very uneasy feeling in her heart. However, if she ran out at such a late night, she would only cause trouble for Maddox if anything happened to her.
She did not forget what Maddox had told her before he left. He asked her to wait for his to return.
No matter how anxious she was, she had to believe him, right?
If Maddox said to wait for his return, then he would definitely come back.
Minerva kept comforting herself and laid back down. As time passed, Minerva did not grow tired at all. Instead, she was in high spirits and held her phone in her hand.
She didn't know how long she had been waiting when her phone suddenly vibrated.
Minerva opened it and saw a message from Geoffrey.
"Minerva, don't worry. I'm already at the Collins family home. I'll take a look at the situation first. If there's anything suspicious, I'll definitely help Sebastian!"
Minerva could only thank him and wait with her phone in her hand.
Collins family home
The servants brought up two cups of tea and placed them in front of Maddox and Jarold.
However, the two didn't move. Jarold's gaze tightly locked onto Maddox, and the anger in his eyes could be seen clearly.
Maddox pursed his thin lips and picked up the teacup to take a sip. "Grandpa, take a sip of tea to calm yourself down?"
"Calm down? Humph, do you think that my anger can be easily reduced?" Jarold asked.
After he finished speaking, Jarold took a huge gulp of tea and put it down heavily. The cup collided with the table and made a loud noise.
Seeing Jarold's actions, Maddox became more relaxed. He casually drank his tea.
Jarold was exasperated when he looked at his grandson standing in front of him. He was incensed by his calm and composed demeanor. Just as he was about to pick up his crutch to hit him, Baldrick, who was standing beside him, saw his action and quickly stepped forward to stop him.
"Master Collins, don't be angry, don't be impulsive!"
"Baldrick, let go of me! Let me discipline this disobedient brat." Jarold said.
Jarold was furious. Maddox looked up, his inky eyes meeting Jarold's turbid but angry eyes. He then pursed his lips and said, "Grandpa, are you looking for a puppet successor?"
Jarold was stunned when he heard these words, "What do you mean by that?" "Isn't that so?" Maddox laughed coldly, "Isn't your reason for controlling my life was so that I could be your puppet? Grandpa, you're my grandfather, so I respect you, but that doesn't mean I'm willing to be a puppet."
